I’m Lisa Baker, I have trained in various areas of Physical Therapy over the last 10 years. I have a passion to help dogs needing treatment post operatively, conservatively or on a maintenance level for sport or daily living.
With the variety of therapies I have trained in since 2014, broadens the way I can assist a dog to heal or perform.
In this industry it is important to understand that ‘one size does not fit all’ I assess each dog individually and treat them as ‘a whole’ to initiate healing.
I have a keen interest in working with Sport dogs, helping maintain good balance, posture and movement, through manipulative techniques and targeted strengthening exercises.
